About This Item
Routledge, London / New York, 1994. 1st ed. 357p. ills. Paperback. Nice copy. French 'presents a wide-angled view of the relationship between the physical world, the gods, Greek philosophy and the purposes of those who expressed such different notions about 'nature'. Aristotle's zoology, Theophrastus' works on plants and Strabo's geography form the core of the work. (...) F.'s assessment of Ancient Natural History is well presented and illustrated. It will be an essential vade-mecum for anyone interested in further exploring this fascinating aspect of the ancient world.' (JOHN F. HEALY in The Classical Review (New Series), 1995, pp.403-04). From the library of the late Prof. W. Geoffrey Arnott.

About Scrinium Classical Antiquity
Scrinium stands for a specialized stock of new, secondhand and antiquarian books about Classical Antiquity. The main theme of our books is Classical Antiquity: texts and commentaries, translations, archeology, philosophy, travel, history, mythology, books for young people, philology, law, reception of classical motives in Middle Ages, Renaissance and our own time and neo-Hellenika (conptemporary Greece), and many more subjects. A more modest quantity of our books concerns countries, civilisations and religious movements on the edges of the classical world: e.g. Egypt, Middle East and Early Christianity. New books are partly in stock, partly to be ordered from publishers. We are connected to a large number of publishers and distributors, established both in the Netherlands and abroad.
